CaseZero

Game changing insights in three weeks

CaseZero is a rapid deployment data intelligence platform, providing insights to any of your company’s current challenges, at a fraction of the cost and time compared to competitors. Our product is deployable within a day, and within three weeks, will provide at least one data insight worth more than the cost of the deployment.

CaseZero team members are experts of data visualization, big data infrastructure and behavioral economics. We've built major infrastructure and generated hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for companies like TrueCar, WolframAlpha, IAC, DemandMedia, Business.com, GrindMedia, Experian and more.

Give us just three weeks and we'll provide you with insight worth at least the cost of implementation. Three weeks - that's not a typo.

Lab

We invent and incubate companies.

Our ideas become products and companies. We work in art, data, software, hardware, sports, and education.

The White Knight

We’re excited to be working on advanced technology for mobile grow systems. In addition to R&D, we’re helping The White Knight grow by adding funding and marketing.

NY Knicks & Rangers

The Knicks and Rangers apps give fans instant access to exclusive team news, photo galleries and videos. Get live-scores pre and post game coverage, team and player stats, schedules and standings. This was a complex technical execution with multiple API integrations for geo-fencing, ticketing, real-time-data, and high volume media delivery.

Pearson

It is no secret that Tablets will be used as key learning tools by kids worldwide. In 2013, Pearson hired Fabric to help build the new Common Core software platform for K12. Fabric’s team worked on the interactive content and games for Math and English and our game designers were challenged with connecting learning mechanics and pedagogy to engaging game play.

Fanswell

Fanswell connects artists and fans to book live music outside of bars and clubs. Fabric’s design and engineering team helped nurture Fanswell from napkin to product. We’re proud to say that Fanswell was successfully incubated at Fabric and has been growing steadily since the in-house team came online.
